The results of the search quickly came out as Wang Zhaowu summarized and reported to Jiang Chen.
The search team of 30 soldiers was transported by armored vehicles and two modified trucks to the destroyed apartment building at the edge of the city center. After two hours of careful searching, the search team still managed to find a lot of useful information.
From the ruins of the explosion, they found 20 sentry machine guns and the wreckage of two radars. The actual number was definitely more than that, but that was all they could confirm.
Other than that, there was also some special production equipment that seemed to be used to produce some special parts. But due to the severe damage, the search team couldn't identify what it was used to produce. From the mutated fruits used to produce nutrient supply, there should be traces of human activity here.
There was also an unexpected surprise in the search. In the buried corner, they found a half-destroyed quantum computer. From the specifications, the quantum computer belonged to the experimental level. Although they didn't know if it could be repaired, they still moved it onto the truck.
Liuding town's helicopter didn't interfere with the Fishbone base's search. They only watched from afar and didn't even send people down.
The only thing that affected the search was a group of zombies that had gathered here because of the commotion, and a Roshan that happened to wander here.
But when they were preparing to retreat, the fleet was attacked by an unknown group of militants.
The militants mostly used laser weapons as they suddenly attacked when the fleet was retreating. But the search team's leader reacted quickly as he immediately ordered the soldiers to return fire.
The exchange of fire lasted for five minutes. With the large caliber machine guns of the armored vehicles, the search team clearly had the upper hand. After the group of militants left behind more than ten corpses, they quickly scattered and fled in all directions.
When Jiang Chen learned that the search team found the quantum computer in the ruins, he immediately met with the leader of the team, Zhu Zheng, and personally gave him the Knight Medal in recognition of his contribution to the base.
After he sent the new knight away, Jiang Chen found Xu Lu. Through her, he found an expert in quantum computers at the base to examine the damaged quantum computer.
Fortunately, according to the expert Xu Lu found, although the hard disk area of the quantum computer was seriously damaged, the most critical part of the processor was still within the limit of repair. Even with the current technology in the fallout shelter, it was possible to repair this quantum computer.
When he heard the good news, Jiang Chen immediately ordered Xu Lu to mobilize all available resources and prioritize the repair of the quantum computer. For the research team of Fallout Shelter 027, its significance was too significant.
In particular, this kind of experimental quantum computer was a treasure that was hard to come by on the wasteland.
Although he didn't know why Lin Chaoen's base would have this, no matter what, this treasure now belonged to Jiang Chen.
After explaining everything, Xu Lu left with the old quantum computer expert.
Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, faced the empty office, took a deep breath, and took out the half-drafted reform bill.
"Ah … it's more troublesome than I thought."
Jiang Chen threw the document on the table and rubbed his hair in a frenzy.
He had already planned out the rules and laws. With the advice from the law department of the Fishbone base, combined with the political knowledge he gained from being a keyboard warrior in university, it wasn't difficult to create a set of rules and regulations applicable to the wasteland society after nearly three months of work.
The only troublesome part was the reform of the command system.
Jiang Chen swept away the pile of documents and picked up the tablet on the corner of the table.
His finger slid as a column of data appeared in front of him.
"1,517 soldiers, 1,000 new recruits, 323 knights … Eh? I've already received this many knights? "Jiang Chen murmured to himself as his finger continued to slide.
The head of logistics, Wang Qin, recorded all the military equipment information on this list.
Completely clueless.
Jiang Chen let out a sigh as he stood up and walked out the door.
…
When he pushed open the basement door, Jiang Chen once again saw the defeated female colonel.
There was no expression on Han Junhua's face, just like a granite sculpture. He could read the outline, but he couldn't read any emotion.
Facing the emotionless face, Jiang Chen was at a loss for words. What made him feel helpless was not that he couldn't find a starting point, but that he couldn't find a trace of resentment on her face.
That's right, resentment.
If there was no resentment, then there would be no fear. If there was no fear, then there would be no compromise.
Jiang Chen suddenly felt regret. Perhaps he shouldn't have chosen the meaningless method.
In this bright but deathly silent basement, time quietly passed.
"Did you just come to see me?" Han Junhua broke the silence first.
"I … I just don't know what to say," Jiang Chen said in an uncertain tone.
Han Junhua didn't respond. She only looked away as if she had lost interest.
If there was such a thing as interest.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen seemed to understand something.
"I can more or less feel what you feel."
"Normal people can't feel it," Han Junhua responded quickly.
"You can't feel it under normal circumstances." Jiang Chen paused before he continued, "Have you heard of the genetic vaccine? I'm sure you've heard that people who have been injected with it may have a special mutation. "
"A piece of DNA that isn't normally expressed?" Han Junhua asked.
"That's right! Hidden genetic code. "Jiang Chen finally remembered the name.
"So?" Han Junhua looked at Jiang Chen quietly.
"… Not having feelings, it must be hard," Jiang Chen said softly.
After activating "Invincible", the emptiness of removing feelings from the body. Although he only experienced it twice, no matter how many times he recalled the feeling, it would always send chills down his spine.
Han Junhua looked into Jiang Chen's eyes. "Rather than saying it's hard, it's more accurate to say it's emptiness."
"Because PAC doesn't exist anymore, right?"
It wasn't because of loyalty to PAC, nor was it out of responsibility. Those things disappeared the moment she stepped down as the leader of the fallout shelter.
However, that was her entire life.
Until now, Jiang Chen finally realized this point.
Han Junhua didn't answer directly. Instead, she asked, "Have you heard of the Spiritual Commissar Project?"
Jiang Chen shook his head.
"Use electricity to engrave thoughts and write the creed into the soul," Han Junhua continued.
"Electricity? Are you a digitalized human? "Jiang Chen frowned.
"No. The Spiritual Commissar Project is targeted at living people. It's called the Officer Mass Production Project in the military. Simply put, it's to engrave thoughts into the brain like a program. The commander who passes through the project will have the absolute right thoughts. No matter what situation they face, they will not make the wrong judgment because of their emotions, and they will not be burdened by the result of their judgment. Usually, we are used to carry out missions that cannot see the light of day. For example, suppressing the separatists and eliminating the instigators, "Han Junhua said softly.
Jiang Chen was stunned as he held his breath.
He saw people who wanted to turn a computer into a human brain, and now he saw people who wanted to turn a human brain into a computer.
"This is really …" He couldn't think of a word to describe it.
Evil?
No, there was nothing more evil than nuclear weapons. The moment the war occurred, all morals and bottom lines would become a joke. In the information age, history may not be written by the victors, but only the victors had the right to comment on history.
For someone who was born in a peaceful era, it was impossible for him to understand the desperation people faced at that time.
"No need to sympathize with me. Everyone who joined the Spiritual Commissar Project volunteered," Han Junhua said emotionlessly.
There was no regret on her face, only a hint of loneliness gradually appeared in her eyes.
"It's just that after completing the final mission, I don't know what to do."
Looking at the emotionless female colonel, Jiang Chen fell into silence.
From the beginning, he misunderstood her persistence.
"Let's make a deal."
Han Junhua looked at Jiang Chen with a questioning look.
"Feelings, right? Although I'm not a scientist, I believe science can solve this problem. You help me realize my ambition, and I'll help you find what you're missing. How about it? "Jiang Chen looked into her eyes seriously.
"Implanting a new Spiritual Commissar into the brain? I don't think that's what I need. "
"No, it's to regain the feelings of a normal person." Jiang Chen shook his head.
Han Junhua fell into a brief silence.
"How can I trust you?"
"Even if you don't trust me, you don't have a better choice, right?" Jiang Chen said seriously.
"I'm asking, how can I trust that you can do it?"
"Is it difficult to do?" Jiang Chen asked.
"When I was undergoing the surgery, my commander already clearly told me that I will become an existence more similar to a machine than a digitalized human. Even if the war is won and everyone has a happy ending, I can't get more comfort than honor, "Han Junhua said softly.
"Even with the most advanced technology before the war, it can't remove the Spiritual Commissar?" Jiang Chen asked in an undertone.
Han Junhua shook her head.
"Then all the more reason for you to choose me." Jiang Chen snapped his fingers.
Han Junhua looked at him with a questioning look.
"I will restore order to this wasteland, and the scientific research system will be rebuilt. By then, even if the 22nd century's technology can't solve your problem, I believe in the distant 23rd century, 24th century, or even 25th century, your problem will be solved one day. When everything is over, I'll arrange for you to lie in the hibernation chamber and go to the future, "Jiang Chen looked into her eyes and said seriously.
She closed her eyes and thought for a long time.
After a long time, she opened her eyes.
"You convinced me."
